Holy shit was this Glyn Johns' car??

Actual living legend, inventor of a method for recording drums that he used extensively with Led Zeppelin, engineer on Beatles recordings, and a whole lot more besides

If you watch Peter Jackson's Get Back documentary about the Beatles that came out recently you'll see him in it loads

Yep, he’s all over the eye watering invoices from new to about 1999

Yeah, if you ever get bored of it please offer it to me for significantly more than you paid and I'll probably still find it hard to resist

Fucking brilliant.  I hope it doesn't ruin you, but life's too short.

EFA.

This is literally the opposite of what one would expect to do in a pending winter catastrophe, so I commend this decision.

An absolute legend in recording circles.  His method of drum recording (as pioneered on some of the Zeppelin records) has had a real resurgence in the last few years as people have re-discovered it to good effect.

Stonking buy.

EDIT: I see @Dan_ZTT has beaten me to it.  The curse of audio production nerds strikes again.

You should avoid buying a car from Alan Parsons unless you want a project.

Ironically the eccentric last keeper has lost the face off part of the (newish) stereo. I think I’ll look to replace it with some sort of premium mid 80s radio cassette. 
 

There a few drilled holes and evidence of what what presumably a car phone for our record producer between the front seats . Currently drinks storage (pictured on the way back from Tesco, it’s not a mobile drinks Cabinet, not being rock and roll enough myself)…

Hopefully will be straightforward, but vaguely remember someone on here years ago, going the Bentley route and having real issues getting the audio sorted.
Loving your drinks cabinet as well.  Are the kids loving it as well. Stand them in front and change from city to country horn

Always interesting to see the previous private plates on these types of cars. With this one:

B543HFG - Original 

B12XXX - Unassigned but was on Mercedes 300 SEL

B6RRY - presently on a Peugeot 308 Active CC E-Hdi - which is one of these things...

I might tap into the @LightBulbFun knowledge to see about getting the hfg reg back (it’s well documented in the history)
